At the age of 59, Jane Fonda set out to find herself.Amid her many successes - two Academy awards, an Emmy and numerous movie roles - the actress was still unsure about her own identity.
"I needed to find out if there was a 'me' there or just someone that others wanted me to be," she said during a Tuesday night speech at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.
Fonda began documenting her life, from the failed relationships and harmful behavior to her on-screen success. She compiled her feelings and frustrations into the 2005 bestselling memoir "My Life So Far," which she used to heal herself and encourage others.
"Even though I had been successful, I had never owned who I

Is there any way you can modify this photo so that the microphone pointed at her left temple appears to be, instead, a twelve gauge firing a slug through her helmet?
Just wishing.
Never mind. That would depict violence. I would much rather Miss Fonda have a genuine change of heart.
Good catch. She was born Dec. 21, 1937.
She's 69.
We always knew who and what Fonda was........a traitorous bimbo.
I will never be able to read another story about her without thinking of the (new) song...

More navel-gazing from the self-important.
Yawn.
Considering what she found, she should loose it again. We were better off without her.
Yes she is . I suggest she go back to North Vietnam to find herself and see if she has the freedom to open her big mouth there. As for her book being a big seller I find that hard to believe. She is utterly disgusting.
"I had never owned who I am." What?
Yup. Another remarkable piece of claptrap from one of America's great narcissists.
Why does Ms. Fonda think that anyone, anywhere cares about what she thinks?
She is a self-centered, supercilious pinhead who has lived a dream life by being overpaid, under worked, untalented and uninformed.
Gee. I feel so sorry for her.
YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I don't know why she was confused. She was an anti-American traitor bitch in her twenties and four decades later she still is.
We've known who she is for almost 40 years.
Now reborn as "Jihad Jane, the mullahs' whore.
In my early 20's, I had an Actors' Equity card: as a group I've never come across anyone who was as unsure about their own identities as actors. You are so caught up in figuring out how - and pretending - to be someone else all the time that it's almost impossible to figure the difference between what's a character you've played, and what's yourself.
It's one of the reasons I stopped acting.
At 59, she knew exactly who and what she was. She didn't like it, so she began her revisionist period.
I guess forgiving yourself requires less effort than seeking the forgiveness of all those she has hurt in her selfish, egocentric lifetime. As long as she's in denial, she'll never heal.
She'll likely go to her grave never really "owning" herself. Sad.
